Attendees could point their mobile device at the court and watch what the players saw. Fans could also join a Google hangout or view the stream through their own Glass.

Google Glass has had the tech world abuzz all year. There is still some skepticism about whether people will actually wear them in daily life, but developers have jumped at the opportunity to build a wide range of Glass apps and give the tech real world appeal.

VentureBeat writer John Koetsier, who coaches youth baseball and hockey, wrote “Glass could help coaches not just tell players what’s going wrong but also actually show them from their own perspective … which would be a very powerful visual validation of the need for adjustment.”

Improving physical fitness is one of the core drivers of the wearable movement. Popular wristbands like Nike’s Fuel Band and the FitBit, and smart watches like Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, give recreational and competitive athletes greater insight into their activities.

So while you may never have the physical sensation of flying through the air with your hand cupped around a basketball, and slamming it into the basket as the crowd erupts into applause, you can at least see what it looks like through someone else’s eyes.
